Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Page 631

Liu Bai waved his hand, and Rita thoughtfully straightened Liu Bai's clothes.

While Eden gained new powers, Rita was simply enhanced.

What she needs is to adapt, not to learn.

"Huanlong, I'm entrusting the task of bringing the pot to you tomorrow."

"You don't need to say something three or four times."

Huanlong stretched lazily.

Although I don't know why the energy body needs to stretch.

"Huanlong, if you do a good job after this is over, I can give you a surprise."

Liu Bai said with a smile.

It's time to give Huanlong some benefits to lure him in.

Getting something for free is great, but you can't keep doing it forever.

Now that Huanlong's feelings for him have reached a point where she can begin to trust him.

"I?"

Huanlong was slightly surprised. "If it's just something to please a little girl, then you don't need to give it to me."

"You'll definitely like it."

Liu Bai's confident tone startled Huanlong.

"...Hmph, since that's the case, I'll look forward to it. I hope it won't disappoint me."

……

"woo woo woo woo--"

"Aili, why are you tormenting Xiao Ai?"

When Liu Bai returned to expand his home, he found Alicia cuddling with Xiao Ai.

"I want Xiao Ai to sell me an outfit~"

Alicia continued to cuddle and rub against Little Ai, while the chubby bird continued to let out cute yet helpless cries.

...Why does it feel like Alicia just wants to play with Ai?

What kind of clothes are they?

Liu Bai walked to Alicia's side and separated the two.

Speaking of which, it seems that Xiao Ai sells some fashion items here.

It's just that buying clothes in the past was useless, and I didn't have time to buy them later.

"This is it! Miss Faded Fairy?!"

"..."

Such delicate skin.

When this first came out, it was criticized with comments like, "Do you think you're funny?"

However, she was also criticized for liking this kind of thing, which seems to be true to Alicia's personality.

"Xiao Ai, I'll buy this Faded Fairy."

Liu Bai didn't even look at the price and directly asked Xiao Ai to pay.

"I know, I know..."

Then, a small card appeared in front of Liu Bai.

Before Liu Bai could even take the card, Alicia pressed the card down and slapped it onto Xiao Ai.

then……

Xiao Ai started to glow, just like a Pokémon evolving.

“…Aili?”

Liu Bai's brain went blank for a moment before he realized what Alicia had done.

But... then comes the curiosity of what will happen to Xiao Ai.

After all, this thing isn't worth much money, but the little Ai in the glowing evolution is really interesting!

Will it turn into a round, faded, chubby little bird in the style of Alice?

Liu Bai stared intently at Xiao Ai, whose body was now completely enveloped in white light.

Then... the white light slowly stretched upwards...

Wait a minute! Why do we need to stretch it upwards?

Is it some kind of Stark evolution into Staraptor?

Wait! It's even higher now?

Could it evolve directly into Staraptor?

It hasn't stopped yet! It's already as tall as Alicia!

Could it be...? Damn it! Give me back my little chubby bird!

As the white light faded, a reserved, faded fairy appeared before Liu Bai and Alicia.

"Mmm~ She really is super pretty."

Alicia was criticizing "herself".

Xiao Ai lowered her head, clearly even more shy.

But... Liu Bai, who was standing nearby, suddenly felt a sense of grotesqueness as he watched this scene.

Faded Alicia and Alicia...

Xiao Ai and Alicia...

"Xiao Ai, do you have a formal name?"

"Yes...yes! My name is Elisa!"

"Xiao Ai..." Elisa nodded nervously in response.

"..."

Such a plain and unremarkable female name.

Looking at Elisa, Liu Bai felt that she didn't seem to be lying.

But a sense of the bizarre always lingers.

"Hmph~ You're quite surprised that Liu Bai kissed you, aren't you~"

Alicia stood with her hands on her hips, looking incredibly proud. "I'm super awesome, aren't I?"

—What are you so proud of!

Alicia's nonsensical behavior slightly mitigated the sense of the bizarre.

"...Can you give me an explanation?"

Liu Bai let out a breath and looked at Alicia with a slightly serious expression.

"Hmm... how should I put it?"

Alicia scratched her head, "Liu Bai, have you ever thought about turning the world into a giant Alicia?"

"..."

The world... the great Alicia?

Liu Bai suddenly remembered a meme of an anime cat with a swapped head, titled "Alicia Conquers the World JPG".

"...What exactly?"

"Everyone is a family of a different color!"

"That's too bizarre."

Liu Bai answered without any politeness.

The sense of absurdity in my heart subsided considerably.

“Then… some are Ritas in different colors, some are Meis in different colors, some are Bronyas in different colors, and some are…”

"It's getting more and more bizarre, isn't it?"

Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.

Alright, Alicia effectively stopped Liu Bai from continuing the discussion.

"By the way, is Xiao Ai alright?"

"I...I'm fine, it's just that I can't go back into the pot..."

Xiao Ai's tone was slightly sad.

...Is it the sorrow of being unable to return home?

"My cola...my potato chips and spicy strips..."

Wait a minute! What are you eating, you little chubby bird, huddled in that pot?!

Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.

Okay, he needs to reflect on himself.

He seems to have always treated Xiao Ai as an NPC—after all, Xiao Ai's role is too much like an NPC's.

Sometimes Liu Bai even wondered if Xiao Ai would understand if he talked to her about the system.

"Okay, Xiao Ai, I'll arrange a place for you to stay."

"Hey~ Liu Bai, you're really something. You didn't care when she was a little bird, but suddenly you're all eager for her after she turned into a beautiful girl~ Waaaaah~ Does Liu Bai only love her looks?"

Alicia started to fake cry.

"Well~! Even though I'm a super invincible beautiful girl!"

Please, if you're going to fake cry, just keep faking it. Don't start getting narcissistic as you go on.

"Really? Master, you're so gentle, waaaaah..."

[Elisa's favorability rating: 934 → 939]

"..."

Wait!

The sense of the bizarre feeling that had just subsided in Liu Bai surged up again.

This favorability rating... Liu Bai almost forgot that Xiao Ai had given him a favorability rating notification a long time ago.

The prompt at the time was: [Little Ai's Affection Level: 931 → 934] (Chapter 154)

At the time, Liu Bai thought that Xiao Ai's initial favorability rating was 1,000, but it dropped by almost 70 because of his teasing and ignoring her.

But... not long ago, Alicia also had an exaggerated initial affection level of 4120.

Is this really just a simple overflow value filled in by the foot?

……

"Lady Alicia... please stop doing such reckless things."

Inside the room, after confirming that Liu Bai had left, Elisa looked at Alicia with a troubled expression.

"This is the final simulated universe project. If it's interrupted for any reason, we'll have to start all over again... and everyone will be after you."

"Don't worry, don't worry~ But speaking of which, what's the situation with Aying and the others? Why are they here? Even though it's a cosmic-level project, most people should live lives where, apart from not actually dying, their actions are similar to those in reality, right?"

"Hmm...you should ask the master about that..."

Elisa scratched her head. "It might be a problem with the master's settings...? Nobody knows what settings the master subconsciously made."

"Hmm... okay, anyway, everyone's a beautiful girl. But I've wanted to complain for a long time. God created the world in a dream. Is this really a 'simulated universe'? Apart from the lack of native life and the inability to truly die, it's no different from reality, right?"
